Virtual Chief Technology Officer (vCTO)
Staying ahead of the change curve to maintain your advantage
The rate of change in technology is gaining speed and it’s critical for businesses to stay ahead but anticipating tech disruptions in enough time to exploit them can be a challenge in itself especially when delivering transformation on a tight budget and being prepared for the next big thing on the horizon.
What is a vCTO?
The vCTO has a proven track record to communicate at board level, as well as throughout organisations on any technical issue from overall IT strategy to day to day business and managing in-house or outsourced IT teams to ensure business objectives are delivered.
A vCTO enables businesses to achieve enterprise-level objectives by getting the best out of existing technologies and integrating new technologies to go beyond just optimising IT performance.

- Ensured projects are delivered within agreed timescales and budgets

- Taken full ownership of IT budget to ensure cost optimisation for every technology
